Man shot himself in the foot to see what it felt like
Metro [UK] ^ | 29 Apr 2015 | Matt Payton

There is a concrete reason why ‘shooting yourself in the foot’ is an idiom as this man found out.

Police have not revealed the 35-year-old’s name who was admitted to hospital last weekend in the Spanish town of Elda near Alicante.

However, it currently appears that he shot himself in the foot with a handgun to find out what it would feel like.

Authorities have not yet found the firearm which they believe he threw out of his car window on the way to hospital, according to i100.

Investigators have not ruled out sending him for psychological testing or charging him for firearm offences.

Disappointing article. No mention of the caliber or model of gun used.

No arguments about clips and magazines here. He used a roach clip.

"No, the man was NOT Joe Biden, but good guess."

Never thought that for a minute.

Creepy Joe would have used a 12Ga.

During a benefit biker run for veterans, I once thought it was a brilliant idea to put a cotton bandana over my nose and mouth to keep the pouring rain off my face.

You would not like it.

Didn’t some seven foot african born basketballer do the same thing while out having a drink? I recall that he was fined heavily for it.
